Friday, June 12, 2020
This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER
contains regulatory documents having general
applicability and legal effect, most of which
are keyed to and codified in the Code of
Federal Regulations, which is published under
50 titles pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 1510.
The Code of Federal Regulations is sold by
the Superintendent of Documents.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

[Docket ID: FSA–2020–0004]
RIN 0530–AA65
Coronavirus Food Assistance
Program; Correction
Office of the Secretary, USDA.
Correcting amendments.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Secretary of Agriculture
is correcting a final rule that appeared
in the Federal Register on May 21,
2020. The document was issued to
implement the Coronavirus Food
Assistance Program (CFAP) that
provides assistance to agricultural
producers impacted by the effects of the
COVID–19 outbreak. There is one typo
in the table of payment rates for the
commodity of carrots that needs to be
corrected. Additional corrections are
being made to add clarity to the rule.
DATES: Effective Date: June 12, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
William L. Beam; telephone: (202) 720–
3175; email: Bill.Beam@usda.gov.
Persons with disabilities who require
alternative means for communication
should contact the USDA Target Center
at (202) 720–2600 (voice).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document corrects the final rule that
was published in the Federal Register
on May 21, 2020 (85 FR 30825–30835).
This document clarifies the definition of
‘‘Slaughter Cattle—fed cattle’’ to specify
that the term refers to cattle with a
weight of 1,200 pounds or more that are
intended for slaughter.
This document clarifies specialty crop
eligibility in § 9.5(b), and specifies that
specialty crops that were harvested and
shipped but that were subsequently
spoiled or unpaid due to loss of
marketing channels between January 15,
2020, and April 15, 2020, are eligible for
payment under § 9.5(b)(2). It corrects
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:57 Jun 11, 2020
Jkt 250001
§ 9.5(b)(3) to specify that it includes
donated crops and to remove the term
‘‘unpriced,’’ which does not apply to
payments for specialty crops that did
not leave the farm or were donated, or
mature crops that remained unharvested
between January 15, 2020, and April 15,
2020, due to loss of marketing channels.
This document clarifies payment
calculations for livestock under
§ 9.5(c)(1), (d)(1), and (f)(1) to specify
that they are based on unpriced
livestock sales, and it clarifies
§ 9.5(c)(2), (d)(2), and (f)(2) to specify
that they apply to livestock inventory
owned between April 16, 2020, and May
14, 2020. This document removes the
definition of ‘‘unpriced inventory’’ and
adds a similar definition of ‘‘unpriced’’
to be consistent with the use of the term
throughout the regulation; the new
definition also specifies that ‘‘unpriced’’
is based on whether a forward contract,
agreement, or similar binding document
was in place as of January 15, 2020.
The final rule did not address
eligibility of dairy operations that went
out of business prior to the second
quarter or during second quarter
production. This correction specifies
that dairy operations that dissolved on
or before March 31, 2020, are eligible for
payment under § 9.5(e)(1) using the
CARES Act payment rate, and dairy
operations that dissolve or have
dissolved after March 31, 2020, are
eligible for a prorated payment for the
number of days the dairy operation
commercially markets milk in the
second quarter under § 9.5(e)(2) using
the CCC payment rate. This clarification
will not increase CFAP costs.
This document also corrects the
CARES Act payment rate for sales losses
for carrots, and table headings.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects the final rule that
was published in the Federal Register on May 21, 2020 (85 FR 30825-

This document clarifies specialty crop eligibility in Sec. 9.5(b),

that were subsequently spoiled or unpaid due to loss of marketing
channels between January 15, 2020, and April 15, 2020, are eligible for
payment under Sec. 9.5(b)(2). It corrects Sec. 9.5(b)(3) to specify
that it includes donated crops and to remove the term ``unpriced,''
which does not apply to payments for specialty crops that did not leave

between January 15, 2020, and April 15, 2020, due to loss of marketing
channels. This document clarifies payment calculations for livestock
under Sec. 9.5(c)(1), (d)(1), and (f)(1) to specify that they are
based on unpriced livestock sales, and it clarifies Sec. 9.5(c)(2),
